`I;.E ZRA PARKER, ofBevcrly, of the county of WVashngton and State ofOhio, have invented a Ma chine for the Improvementoi,1 Water-Wheels, of.which the following is a specification.

My invention relatestothe hydraulic pressure, up-

ward or downward, Vas the case may be,'of the vertical wheel, known lasthe reactionI or, Parker waterwheel, or anyother wheel acting upon thelsame or similar principles. "f i f l f `lheobject'of' myinvention is toso repress and indnct the wateras it issuesfrom the Water-trunk into thebody of the wheel, as to keep the water from pressing an easyjrnanne'r,so `that its motion may not be too suddenly impeded, thereby saving itsvelocity as well `as pressure for useful e'ect. y f

` \1)esc `1'z'ptt'on of Drawing. u Fgurel'isa sectionalV view of amachine, which f Figure 2 is a viewV of a water-wheel, with the' top rremoved, showing the top of .the indnctor. A

i through l Figure 3 is aperspective view of the inductor, as it standsin position in the water-trunk.

y General Description.

A, gs. 1 and 3, represents the inductor, as it stands in its properposition.

B, iig. 1, is the water-trunk.

C is a circular aperture for the admission of water into the wheel D D,fig..1.

The manner in which the inductor is used is as follows:`

The water, No. 1, is let into the water-trunk B, fig. 1, and movesin thedirection shown by the arrows up D D, tig. ,1, and is turned outwardly,bythe peculiar curve 0f the inductor A,vto\vard the circumference of thewheel D'D, iig. 1, thus relieving it of all pressure, except at or nearits circumference.

I claim asmy invention-f- The inductr A, to be used in combination withany water-wheel of the kinds hereinbef'ore mentioned,

substantially as and for the purpose hereinbe'oie set Y' forth.
